Riverlands

Levels 1–20

The river country: jungle, meadows, wetlands and sandstone mesas. Home.


What it is like

The valley where every gator starts. The village sits in its middle, safe from creatures, with the workshop, the market board, the Class Shrine and friends to talk to. The further you walk from the village, the stronger the Gloom gets, until you reach the coast and the open sea: see Continents and danger.

WhereThe home continent, about 2.2 km across, with the village in its middle.
DangerCreature levels 1–20: level 1 round the village, climbing in rings to 20 at the far coasts. More at night, on glacier peaks and in volcano craters.
TownsSafe towns with stations and a trading post kept by Otto the Otter
Looks likeJungle, meadows, wetlands, honey-coloured sandstone mesas, beaches and highlands, with the river running through it all.
WeatherSunny days, rain and the odd storm, fog in the early morning. A whole day and night lasts 24 minutes.
MusicThe valley's own tunes; the village always plays its home theme.
Region namesMango Meadows, Reedwater Fen, Sunny Glade, Lilypad Banks…

Watch out

  • Near the village the Gloom is weak: Sludge Blobs and Thorn Burrs. Further out come brutes and golems.
  • At night Gloom Bats come out, and every creature is a little stronger.
  • Somewhere along the coast there is a lagoon where Goliath sleeps.
  • The Rusty Crab Machine wanders mesas, beaches and meadows, rarely.

Tips

  • Ore gets better with distance: copper first, then iron, then moonstone deep in the caves.
  • Plant a Reed Bed in shallow water: reeds clean the river and the whole valley heals a little.
  • Wild capybaras graze by the water. Hold carrots, corn or grain and press E three times to make a friend.
